Data Sources (Connectivity) | Integration Cockpit

The Data Sources UI provides a central overview of all configured integration platforms, including their systems, environments, and authentication methods. It also allows you to manage these connections across your integration landscape.

For guidance on creating and configuring each Data Source, see Step 1: Create Data Sources & Schedule Tasks in the Onboarding Guide.

Navigate to Settings → Connectivity → Data Sources to view and manage your integration platform connections.

Data Sources Overview

*Data Sources management interface showing all configured data sources with Name/Type, Environment and Authentication columns*

What you see:

Name/Type column showing the name you assigned to the data source and its
platform type (e.g. ALM / SAP_ABAP, CPI_EU / SAP_BTP)
Environment classification (your configured environments e.g. Development,
Test, Production, Quality)
Authentication method (BASICAUTH, OAUTH2, ACCESSTOKEN, APIKEY, XSUAA)
Management controls for adding, searching, filtering and reloading data
sources, and for viewing deleted data sources

Data Source Management

Adding New Data Sources

Click "+" Add button to create new data source connections
Enter a Name and select the Type and Environment
Configure platform-specific connection details and authentication
Schedule data collection tasks for inventory population
Alternatively, use Copy on an existing data source to reuse its configuration

Managing Existing Connections

Filter data sources by environment or platform type
Search for specific data source names
Reload the list to refresh it with the latest data
Update configuration settings as needed
Delete a data source you no longer need. Deleted data sources stay
available under View deleted datasources, where they can be removed
permanently

Data Source Information

The data sources table provides essential connection information:

Column	Description	Purpose
Name / Type	Data source identifier and platform type	Identify specific systems and their integration platform
Environment	Environment classification	Organize connections by landscape tier
Authentication	Authentication method used	Verify security configuration

XSUAA is used for CAP RFC connections to SAP ABAP systems.

Environment Classifications:

Production → Live business systems
Test → Testing environments
Development → Development systems
Quality → Quality assurance environments

Data Source Setup and Configuration

For detailed setup instructions for each platform type, see the comprehensive Onboarding Guide - Step 1: Create Data Sources & Schedule Tasks.

The guide includes platform-specific instructions for:

Integration Layer

SAP Integration Suite / SAP BTP (SAP_BTP) - configured per product:
API Management, Cloud Integration, Event Mesh, Integration Assessment,
Cloud Connector, Destination, Edge Integration Cell
SAP PI/PO (SAP_PO) - Process Orchestration systems
Microsoft Azure (MICROSOFT_AZURE) - Azure integration services
MuleSoft Anypoint Platform (MULESOFT_ANYPOINT) - MuleSoft integration platform
Solace (SOLACE) - Solace event broker and Event Mesh
Confluent Kafka (CONFLUENT_KAFKA) - Confluent Cloud and Kafka clusters
ASAPIO (ASAPIO) - ASAPIO configuration linked to a SAP ABAP system

Backend Systems

SAP ABAP Systems (SAP_ABAP) - Backend SAP systems, connected via HTTP,
via SAP CPI, or via CAP RFC
SAP ABAP Environment on SAP BTP (SAP_ABAP_BTP) - reads Communication
Arrangements and Communication Systems

Collaboration & Documentation

Jira (JIRA) and Confluence (CONFLUENCE) - Project management and
documentation platforms
API token setup and integration configuration

Enterprise Architecture Tools

LeanIX (LEANIX) - Business capability context integration
Bee360 (BEE360), LUY (LUY), HOPEX (HOPEX) - Architecture
repository connections

DevOps

Microsoft Azure DevOps (MICROSOFT_AZURE_DEVOPS) - Azure DevOps
organizations and projects

System Maintenance / Housekeeping

Housekeeping (LOGS) - Log reorganization and performance optimization tasks

Cockpit Internal

API (API) - Access to the Integration Cockpit's own API endpoint; the URL
is fixed and no external connection details are required
LOCAL (LOCAL) - Local data source without connection details

Note: SAP Event Mesh is not a separate data source type. It is configured as a Product within a SAP_BTP data source. Solace-based event meshes use the SOLACE type.

Deleted Data Sources

Deleting a data source is a two-step process. The data source is first removed
from the active list and kept in a separate view, from where it can be deleted
permanently.

Click the View deleted datasources icon in the toolbar to open the
Data Sources (Deleted) view.
